Talking about steps

Walking is a simple and relaxing way of exercise, which has been sought after more and more in recent years. Regular walking can not only help us exercise, but also help prevent various diseases. However, there are still some skills that need to be mastered in order to get the most effect from walking.

(1) Walk like a pregnant woman

Pregnant women walk with their waists and stomachs, and some people walk with their stomachs when they walk. This kind of walking exercise not only makes people look strange and ugly, but also makes them feel tired and laborious when walking with their stomachs on their backs, and it will also cause a burden on the lumbar spine.

(2) Walking time is too long.

Many people should think that walking exercise is not as much as running exercise, so it will take a long time to exercise. In fact, this kind of cognition is wrong. To achieve the effect of exercise, it is recommended to walk for 40-60 minutes. If it exceeds this reasonable range, it will burden the knee joint of our legs, damage the joints for a long time, and easily induce joint diseases.

(3) Walk hunched over

As mentioned above, some people will walk with their stomachs in the wrong posture. In addition to this common wrong posture, some people bend over to walk. These people usually bend over when sitting, which makes the whole person look ugly. But in fact, maintaining this posture for a long time will induce lumbar and cervical diseases. Not only do you need to stand upright when you walk, but you also need to stand upright when you sit down every day. This will not only make people look better, but also benefit our lumbar spine.

(4) The swing arm is too large when walking.

In fact, walking in the street, you should see many people swinging their arms a lot, which not only makes people feel tired, but also affects their manners. The swing arm that is most suitable for walking should not exceed the chest.

Many people will say who can't walk when they see this place. Just walk with your feet forward, but walking is not as simple as you think.

Nowadays, many people walk just to "race", but it doesn't help their health. The doctor suggested that everyone should decide how many steps to take according to their work intensity, energy intake and physical strength, which can be completed at one time or several times according to the actual situation. At the same time, the exercise process should be gradual, so that the body has a gradual adaptation process.

Generally speaking, the average person has to walk 10000 steps a day. Too many steps will have a negative impact on health. In terms of time, young people suggest insisting on 40-60 minutes of aerobic exercise every day, and the elderly can reduce the exercise time to 30 minutes.

I hope everyone understands that a leisurely walk, even if it takes two hours, is better than 30 minutes of aerobic exercise. Moreover, the effect of exercise is to persist every day, and everyone should persevere in order to reap the changes that walking exercise brings to the body.
